    Was reading through a thread earlier and saw a picture of a ps13 going down the motorway without the front bumper on, intercooler exposed. I was wondering if it is roal legal to run a car without the front bumpers. I know it is legal on older cars like mk1 golfs because they have bodywork behind them but just curious to know as i couldnt find anything on google.

    Pretty sure it is illegal mate, for the same reason as tires sticking out of the arch are. :)

    can do yeah, its one of those gray areas thats under "m.o.t descression"

    you can fail a car for sharp edges pretty much anywhere, its doesnt even have to be metal!

    Cover it in gaffer tape, or just run a bumper.
